Your "change of life baby"

September 29, 2012

Ma - It's been over 3 weeks since you've been gone and it's still seems so unreal. I feel like it just gets harder every day! There isn't a day that goes by that your not missed! I don't even know what to think sometimes.... It just all seems like a bad nightmare... But I hope for u now you are where u always wanted to be...at peace with God!! I can't seem to accept this yet as much as I know you're hopefully in a better place than you have been the past 6 years! Please stay with us Ma- I need your strength righr now! Life just seems to keep on falling apart.. You were always the one to make it better...So we need you. Love u Ma!!

Hey Ma...There is so much I want to say.. The bottom line is I miss u.. I hurt in a way i never thought i could.. A part of me is gone.. But I kno that part is with u now... U took a part of all of us with u.. & u will be with all of us forever.. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to go thru. I need ur strength right now to help me get thru this.... I'll never be the same again..I still can't believe ur gone..this is all like a bad dream.. U fought for 6yrs.. Most people wouldn't have made it thru half of what u went thru.. That just shows me the strength & love u had inside.. U fought for us.. & for ur 3 little angels.. & believe me..they will always kno that... I need u Ma...Even though I kno ur here with me.. & with Jackie, Gianna, & Alexa.. With all of us... I'll never stop wishing I had u here to hug & talk to.. U are so loved by all of us..& u will be loved forever.. Love isnt even a strong enough word for how we all feel about u. U are an amazing woman, mother, grandmother (Mimi), & friend......We will take care of ur little angels.. & we will take care of each other. But we'll never be able to do everything that u did for us..But we'll do our best to make u proud.. I am so blessed that I had u for 40 yrs.. Not long enough Ma...i kno ur in a better place now ... No more pain.. No more suffering.. But I still feel a little selfish, cause i still want u here.... I could go on forever telling u how much i love u & miss u...whatever i didnt say , i kno u already kno....we'll all be together again someday Ma....Thank u for everything.. I love u Ma.

Mommy - I can't sleep. I can't even explain how I'm feeling. I've never felt this way before. This just seems so surreal right now. Please let me know you're okay Ma. Send me a sign that you're watching over all of us. I need to know that you're around. I miss you so much and I feel so lost without you here. Mom help me sleep tonight please. Please give me the strength I need to get through this. I need to stay strong for your baby girl Gianna. She started preschool this week Ma. You'd be so proud of her, which I'm sure you are. I know you are with her everyday. She tells me you're in her heart. G wishes upon your star every night. I'm waiting to hear from you. I LOVE YOU MA!

Ragano Children, I am not sure if you remember me, but I worked many years with your mom at Foodland. She was a great woman and friend. She was so full of life, always a smile on her face, and as many have said a pepsi and a chocolate chip cookie:) I am glad she got to enjoy some time with her grandchildren. Sorry I could not make it to the viewing, but know your mom is in my prayers.

Nick,Michael,Theresa and Chrissy
I have know your Mom for most of my life,I was about 8 years old when her and your Dad moved on Paul St. She was like my second Mom, she was a great lady. Before all you kids came along I would just go up the house to hang with her,she would always give me pepsi and chip-ahoy cookies. I loved spending time with her. Then you kids came and I got my first baby- sitting job. Nick and Michael,you two were always trying to get over on me. About what time time you had to come in or going to bed. Theresa you were a good little girl and Chrissy I was not doing much babysitting when you were born. Liz was loved by many,my parents loved her like a daughter. She will be missed by many.
Love
Annamarie

Mommy,
I wasn't ready for this Ma! As much as I know you are in such a better place now, this is the worst feeling..not having my mom. This seems so surreal. I want to just get in the car and drive down to see you...but I can't anymore. I can still talk to you though, so please let me know you hear me! You are such an amazing woman! Words can't express how greatful and thankful I am to have you for my mother. In the past 26 years, you've showed me the importance of love, family, and faith, which as you already know, I'm carrying it through with my own family now. I promise you that I will continue to do so. You are the strongest woman I know. You sure fought and fought for the past 6 years but now God needed you. I already miss you so much! I'm sorry for sounding selfish because I know you deserve to be at peace now, but this is just so hard to accept Ma! You will ALWAYS AND FOREVER be with us in our hearts! I know you will watch over all of us, especially ur grandbabies. They need their MiMi with them always! Ma, you are greatly missed already and always will be. Now that you're Home with your parents, other family, and friends, I know you're not suffering anymore. I can just picture you walking around with your Pepsi and a cigarette...you wouldn't want it any other way. Until we talk again, I LOVE YOU MOM!!!
Love always,
Lulu Bell!
